Computer Based Testing

  • Florida has been transitioning to computer-based testing since 2010 and will

continue to do so in Spring 2016. AIR offers a dynamic computer-based test delivery system. Students will respond to items in multiple ways, including creating graphs, writing short responses and using other interactive features. The various question types are designed to assess higher-order thinking skills and offer exciting new ways for students to show what they know and can do. Training tests are now available for students, parents and educators to become familiar with the new testing system. The training tests can be accessed at www.FSAssessments.org/training-tests.

  • In Spring 2016, all grades 4–11 English Language Arts and Mathematics

assessments will be administered online, with paper-based versions available for students with disabilities who have this accommodation outlined in their Individual Educational Plans (IEPs). Computer-based accommodations, such as text-to-speech, will also be available in the platform for eligible students who require them. Grades 3 assessments in 2015-2016 will be paper-based tests only.

HOW CAN I HELP?

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Parents and families can promote student success by staying involved in their student’s education,

  • ffering positive support and feedback, and

encouraging their child to relax and do his or her very best. By staying connected with our school and teachers and taking advantage of online resources, such as school websites and portals, parents and families can stay informed and be equipped to meet the needs of their student at

  • home. To help students, parents/guardians, and

educators understand what the FSA test items will look like, the department provides computer-based and paper-based practice tests on the FSA Portal.
